Re: [expath] EXPath: MongoDB Module?

Christian, I would be ardently interested. I think it is of strategic importance to broaden the scope of data sources available to XPath/XQuery. And this with two possible goals: (a) apply XQuery and its peculiar strengths to the contents of existing infrastructure, that is, to content existent in our environments, indepently of XML technologies; (b) leverage non-XML technologies to assist in the management of large XML collections, e.g. by using non-XML in order to store XML documents as blobs, or to store XML document references (e.g. URIs), and to associate those blobs or references with queryable information about those XML resources.
Therefore it is both SQL access and NoSQL access which I hope the EXPath group to take care of.
Cheers,Hans-Juergen

 Dear all,

As you may have seen, Dannes Wessels presented Mongrel, an XQuery
Module, on the eXist-db pre-conference [1]. We implemented a similar
module a short while ago, and Zorba did so as well two years ago [2].

I talked to Dannes, and he would also be interested in contributing to
a joint EXPath module, based on XQuery 3.1 [3]. Would some of you be
interested in having such a module as well?

All the best,
Christian
